Chapter 33
“It’s no problem.” Master Walton waved his hand and left in the opposite direction.
At his age, his only desire was to meet Bambo. If possible, he wanted to learn something from them in
his lifetime.
Master Walton let out a long sigh.
However, it seemed that this wish of his would never be achieved.
Meanwhile, Lucille did not return to the classroom at all. Instead, she left the school.
With her ability, she was not interested in spending all her time and energy in school.
Even though the principal hadn’t expelled her from school for the time being, she had to wait until the
principal investigated the theft case and cleared her name. Then, she would occasionally go to class,
which was also a way of fulfilling the original host’s wishes.
Lucille took a taxi and left.
As soon as she was about to go, a car stopped in front of the school gate. Samuel and Zoey got out of
it. “Thank you for sending me to school, Samuel.”
Zoey stepped forward and kissed Samuel on the face. Her smile was like a blooming flower as she
whispered in his ear, “I’m waiting for you to fulfill your promise.”
He had promised her that he would marry her openly after the engagement was canceled.
Although he had already broken off the engagement with Lucille, he had messed up the Gilbert family’s
grand wedding ceremony because of it. As a result, he had to put aside marrying Zoey as well.
Samuel patted Zoey’s hair and muttered, “Don’t worry. When my grandparents have calmed down, I’ll
tell my elders about it.”
“Okay. I’m going in, then.” Zoey looked at him affectionately before reluctantly entering the school. On
her way in, Zoey was in a good mood.
The night before, she had heard Howard talking to Sebastian over the phone. Howard had given him
full control over Lucille.
That being the case, she didn’t have to worry about Sebastian. He would definitely get Lucille expelled
from school right away.
It was possible that Lucille had already been driven out of the school right then.
Zoey picked up her pace and walked into the classroom.
As far as she could see, Lucille was indeed not there. noveldrama
At the sight of Zoey, a girl who was close to her waved her hand and asked, “Why are you so late
today, Zoey?” Lucille tucked a strand of her long hair behind her ear and explained, “My father was
discharged from the hospital today, so I missed a class.”
“I see. No wonder Mr. Jules dotes on you so much. You’re much more loyal than Lucille, his own
daughter! But… you missed the show this morning!” the girl replied.
“What show? Was Lucille expelled from school?” Zoey looked nervous and worried. “That won’t do. I
have to beg the principal to spare her!”
“Oh, that’s not it.” Helplessly, the girl said, “The principal was supposed to expel her, but Master Walton
came to support Lucille. In the end, not only did she not get expelled, but she also got the principal to
agree to a condition.”
“W-What?” Lucille’s worried expression froze. She almost thought she had misheard.
How was that possible?
The girl continued, “The condition is that Lucille refuses to admit that she stole Jenny’s necklace two
months ago, so the principal has to check the fingerprints on the necklace now.”
With every sentence she heard, Zoey’s face darkened a little.
She had only come to school a little late, yet Lucille was already able to seize the opportunity and start
a comeback.
If Lucille’s name was cleared, wouldn’t that mean Zoey’s efforts to suppress her, incite the whole class
to isolate her, and watch as Lucille was forced into a bottomless abyss step by step were all for
nothing? Zoey gritted her teeth, a hint of hatred flashing across her eyes.
“I’m going out.”
She hurried and left.
After avoiding everyone she knew, Lucille came to the office. She knocked on the door and said, “I’m
here to help Jenny retrieve her diamond necklace.”
Of course, Lucille’s fingerprints were not on the necklace.
However, as long as she damaged the evidence in time and made sure they couldn’t extract the
fingerprints, Lucille’s reputation as a thief would follow her for the rest of her life.
